US President Donald Trump has named retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg as his special envoy to Ukraine, with a goal of ending the conflict within 100 days. Trump's hands-on approach aims to fast-track peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
US President Donald Trump has tasked retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg with the responsibility of bringing an end to the ongoing Ukraine conflict within a tight 100-day timeframe. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump’s decision to appoint Kellogg as his special envoy to Ukraine marks the beginning of a renewed effort to resolve one of the most pressing geopolitical crises in recent history.
The appointment comes amid growing international concern over the prolonged war between Russia and Ukraine, which has caused widespread devastation and strained global relations. While Trump had previously promised to end the conflict even before he took office, sources indicate that the process of negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be more complex than originally anticipated.
Kellogg, a veteran military leader with extensive experience in global affairs, is expected to lead the peace negotiations on behalf of the United States. His role as a special envoy is part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to push forward a peace deal that seeks to bring an end to the war. However, sources suggest that Trump is keen on personally overseeing the talks, positioning himself as a central figure in the diplomatic efforts.
Trump’s determination to take control of the peace process stems from his belief that his approach to negotiations will deliver quicker results. His previous experience as a businessman and his promise of leveraging deals to achieve quick resolutions are central to his strategy for ending the war.
The 100-day target set for Kellogg is an ambitious one, particularly given the complexities of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The appointment signals that the Trump administration is taking a more hands-on approach to diplomacy and is determined to push for a resolution within an expedited timeline.
As the international community watches closely, the role of the special envoy and the direction of Trump’s peace efforts will be crucial in shaping the outcome of the conflict. With both sides entrenched in their positions, the coming months could prove decisive in determining whether a lasting peace can be achieved.
